Hi there, all
Sorry to have been a bit out of touch. Life’s been keeping me quite busy these days over in Woodstock (not too busy to lose a chance to take a bike ride yesterday through the gorgeous Springlike weather! Yay!)
Anyway, I just got news that my site, theturn.tv has won an “Outstanding” award in the Miscellaneous category! Yay! And just got a copy of the On Design magazine (which I hadn’t been told about!) that did a little feature on the site last June, so ego is well stroked today.

Well, I suppose yes it is, or at least was shot using relatively disposable means - my little Canon Digital Elph. Anyway, I’m very proud to announce that Wood Smoke will be showing as part of the Competitive Shorts Category in the Disposable Film Festival. It premiers in San Francisco on March 4 - 6th and then traveling around the world. If you’d like to see the festival, or watch my video projected on a big screen, check out the festival’s events page.

Just wanted to make an proud announcement of a new member of my family of trusted work tools. It’s a portable recorder which records up to 96bits in stereo. Here’s a picture, and what follows is a kind of funny little story:
I bought this unit because the sound on all of the portable cameras that I use is horrible! It becomes a problem when you are planning to use the sound. And I’ve just begun a new project which I’m doing in supermarkets… so the story is I was doing my thing in a supermarket. Pulled out my camera, my gorilla tripod and screwed it onto this Sony unit. Then started to do an odd recording. Before long I noticed people with walkie-talkies giving me odd side-glances and speaking secretly to what I guessed was security. When I was finished one of them came up to me and asked if everything was ok, but he did so in such a threatening way. I actually started to involuntarily shake a little bit. I showed him that clearly this was a recorder, with microphones, and that it said Sony! I can only assume he thought it was some kind of explosive device!
Anyway, it was pretty exciting. I look forward to more such experiences. Maybe the next I’ll get on camera.

Just got a google alert for an article published on Communication Arts on my website, theturn.tv. There’s an interview with Aer Visual Studio as well. (Not me though, why not? hmmm...)
Anyway, you can see it here if you’re interested.
